Well with the 3rd mount in, the car feels like a race car. In another word...PERFECT! Now I really need to get the differential.

 

Strong work...I'd love to take it for a spin.


Is MFactory the only source for a LSD? Not that there's anything wrong with MFactory...just curious. A 5.x final drive would be a nice add on if you were going through the trouble of cracking the bell housing...

 

Well at least would like to pick up the USDM 4.62, the final here is a 4.29. I was actually looking at going with ATS/Across' carbon diff. MFactory I believe is using a Quaife, nothing wrong with them, but I want even more lockup. I emailed Quaife asking and they said they weren't sure if their diff would work inside the GE8 tranny, but sent me drawings and details of it.

 

Are you still planning on using the J's Crux setup?

 

Well condidering it would cost me about $6500 because the $ is becoming the new world peso, I am leaning slightly away from it. If Hayashi-San of Toda makes a FightexDA for me as a one-off I will go that route for sure, if he just starts putting them out there for the GE, I will probably still lean that way. And at half the cost my wallet will thank me. hahaha

 

lol! I can't say anything negative on the Crux though, I had that set up on my EF....and good god, so nice

 

Yeah they are an excellent suspension and I would really love to have them, but I also need to consider how many times will I be out on circuit to cost ratio. Who knows though, I may just say like I always do, you only live once and end up with them.

 

Both very good arguments!

 

Well it only took about 7 weeks, but finally arrived this evening...












Had it painted prior to delivery as I didn't feel like taking it somewhere, I just wanted to put it on when it arrived. Took the small side carbon winglets off the J's front lip and just attached them with double-sided tape for now. Since they are not actually made for the GT bumper, the 3 holes don't really line up for mounting, I can get 1 for sure and possibly a 2nd to give a little more security if I decide to keep them on.

 

Looks really nice man, im pretty jealous of that built in grill, its hot!

 

just looked through this entire thread. I LOVE every thing you have done with your car.

 

Thats looks nasty man. im with Java, super jealous right now

 

helllllllll yeah! looks great 555!

too bad you dont live in texas. we could be great friends. haha

Really admire your work and goals.

 

Thanks guys. JC, most definitely I could see that. If I do make my way back stateside, I was thinking of locating to Texas around Austin or San Antonio, but would prefer the Austin area, especially with Circuit of the Americas being laid down.

 

and Austin will be home to the Formula 1 again excellent choice
i support your decisions of coming to texas!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Extremely nice bud. We are all jealous your jdm parts

Keep us updated

 

Let me know if you are selling your JDM bumper

 

There are people that swear that a Fit is just an econobox and that is all it will ever be... I'll refer them to this thread JC's and BnD's if I run across one of them.

 

just think if all 3 of us were local to each other... the world would stand still! BEHOLD THE FIT!

 

There is a young guy that works for one of the better repair shops here and drives a fast Prelude I ran into awhile back.... He told me he had heard about my car from some other guys his age that are into the tuner car thing.... That made me feel pretty good. They would be freaked to the max if you other guys were to pop in at their weekly get together every Saturday night in the Sears parking lot.
